Note. — The design of this Manual is to present 
reliable information of the Institutions and work- 
ings of this great State, ready facts and figures for 
the legislator, and also many things not known to 
the masses. For we must admit that a better knowl- 
edge of the internal workings of our Institutions not 
only gives us a healthy administration of public 
affairs, but likewise teaches us that pride and patri- 
otic admiration we have for the wise statesman and 
law-maker. Here the author wishes to most kindly 
thank Secretary of State. Mr. Hull, his gentlemanly 
deputy, Mr. Hammond, the officers of all the State 
Institutions, and clerks of courts, for the many kind- 
nesses shown the Author in the preparation of the 
Manual.

THE COLLEGE AND GROUNDS. 

In 1858 the Legislature of Iowa passed an act to 
establish an Agricultural College for the purpose of 
giving a higher education to the industrial classes. 
By the same act means were provided for the selec- 
tion of a farm, the location of college buildings, 
and for experimentation in agriculture. In 1859 a 
farm of six hundred and forty acres, situated in 
Story county, near Ames, was selectc d and purchased 
for the use of the College. In 1862 a bill was passed 
by Congress, donating public lands to the several 
States for the endowment of colleges for the benefit 
of agriculture and the mechanic arts. 

College opened in 1869. Whole number students 
admitted, 2,600. Number in 1881, 240. 

The College farm iLcludes 860 acres, and of this 
about 70 acres are set apart for the College grounds, 
400 acres are in cultivation, and the remainder in 
pasture and woodland. 

Biennial appropriation 1880 (C. 67-1880), $12,500,

bers to order ; and if a quorum be present, he shall 
direct the journals of the preceding day to be read, 
and mistakes, if any, corrected. He shall preserve 
order and decorum, and decide all questions of order, 
subject to an appeal to the Senate, He shall appoint 
all committees, unless otherwise especially ordered. 



158 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL. 

2. One-fourth of the members may have a call of 
the Senate, and absent members sent for. 

3. When the vote is taken viva voce, questions 
shall be distinctly put in this form, viz : "As many 
as are of the opinion (as the case may be) say * aye.' ,7 
And after the affirmative voice is expressed : " as 
many as are of the contrary opinion, say ' no,' " If 
the President doubt, or a division be called for, the 
Senate shall divide — those in the affirmative of the 
question shall first rise from their seats, and after- 
ward those in the negative. 

4. All motions (except to adjourn, postpone, or 
commit) shall be reduced to writing, if required by 
any member of the Senate. Any motion may be with- 
drawn by the mover, before it is amended by the 
Senate. 

5. Every member present when a question is put 
shall vote, unless he shall, for special cause, be ex- 
cused by a vote of the Senate ; but no member shall 
vote on any question in the event of which he is 
directly and personally interested, or in any case 
where he was not present when his name was called 
in the taking ot the vote. 

6. When a member is about to speak in debate, 
or deliver any matter to the Senate, he shall rise

tion under debate, avoid personalities, and the im- 
putation of improper motives.

order in which they are named ; and no motion to 
postpone to a day certain, to commit, or to postpone 
indefinitely, being decided, shall be again allowed

proposition . 

8. The previous question shall be in this form: 
"Shall the main question be now put?" It shall 
only be admitted when demanded by a majority of 
the members present, and its effect shall be to put an 
end to all debate, and bring the Senate to a direct 
vote upon amendments reported by a committee,

out and insert shall be deemed indivisible ; but a mo- 
tion to strike out being lost, shall preclude neither 
amendments nor a motion to strike out and insert. 

11. Every bill shall be introduced on the report 
of a committee, or by leave. Every bill shall re- 



100 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL.

and every bill shall express in its title the object of 
the bill. 

12. The first reading of a bill shall be for infor- 
mation, and if objection be made to it, the question 
shall be, " Shall the bill be rejected ?" If no objec- 
tion be made, or the question to reject be lost, the 
bill shall go to its second reading without further 
question. 

13. Upon the second reading of a bill or joint reso- 
lution, the President shall state it as ready for amen d 
ment, commitment or engrossment, and if commit- 
ted, then the question shall be, whether to a select, or 
standing committee, or a committee of the whole. 
If to a committee of the whole, the Senate shall 
determin on what day. But if the bill be ordered 
to be engrossed, it shall be in order for its third 
reading at any time after that day. No bill or joint 
resolution shall be committed or amended until 
it shall have been twice read. 

14. When a question is lost on engrossing a bill 
for a third reading on a particular day, it shall not 
preclude a question to engross it for a third reading 
on a different day. After a third reading of a bill

'20. The rules of parliamentary practice com- 
prised in Cushing's Manual, shall govern the Senate

which they are not inconsistent with the standing 
rules or orders of the Senate, and joint rules of the 
Senate and House of Representatives. 

21 . The Senate shall, at its pleasure, elect a Pres- 
ident, pro tem., who shall hold his office during the 
remaining portion of the time for which the Presi-

tutional majority, no further vote is necessary. 

23. It is in order for the committee upon En-

when no question is before the Senate. 

24 When any order of the day is not proceeded 
with on the day assigned, it shall stand as a general 
order on each succeeding day until disposed of, un- 
less otherwise ordered, but its consideration cannot 
be moved until that order of business is reached, 
when it shall be taken Up in the order of its file.
